Grief
Weeping May endure for a night but joy cometh in the Morning!
To everything there is a season a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck what is planted a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time together stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing a time to gain, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
By God’s design He created the times and seasons for the people on planet earth; as the scripture declare that there is a time for every purpose under heaven; we are dealing with the subject of Grief. Every one has to face this giant called grief, the loss of a love one; the loss of a job; maybe you have even lost your children to drugs or alcohol, loss is no respecter of persons everybody in some way experiences some kind of loss in there life time, But allow me to encourage you today, God is the God of all comfort He will in fact comfort you in this time of grief in your lives. But there is Comfort for you, Some time ago I and my family experienced a great loss, believe it or not for a period of 3 years straight we experienced death in the family where it looked like every three months someone in our family had passed away suddenly. We were grief stricken; we did not understand what was happening to our family, every time there was a death we would look at one another at the funeral wondering who was the next to see the pearly gates; this was a trying time for our family, but we survived, as for me; because the Lord was in my life He spoke to me during the time of this great loss; and He said these words to me,” that the Joy of the Lord is my strength”, this very word kept me at peace the whole way through, in the course of time we wondered in our hearts why was these things happening. God eventually told me why? He had said that it was there time and season for some and the others they chose to go; and some did not take care of their bodies, the answers to our question caused us to experience peace in the time of our grieving process, But just rest assure that when you only see two sets of footprints in the sand know that you are not alone and that; He was caring you in your time of grief.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8/ Isaiah 40:1-2a /Psalm 30:5b/Psalm 23:1-6
A prayer for you,Our father which art in Heaven we come boldly before your throne of grace today bringing my brother / sister to you in their time and season of grief; it is our prayer that you would begin to heal their broken heart as you have done for me and my family; and that in their time of loss that you would encourage them that weeping may endure for a night but that joy is coming; and we thank you that you have said in your word that you are the God of all comfort to them; so we declare and decree this in Jesus mighty name amen!
